On a summer’s day, a baby vanishes. The mystery is never solved, leaving a young mother lost in grief. 

Twenty-one years later, ex-police detective Dan Hennessy is struggling with his own tragic loss, and when a neighbour disappears and a body turns up at the solar farm, he is desperate for answers. 

The haunted landscape is keeping secrets, and there are dangers lurking in the Brecks. 

Dan must find the truth. 

Can he offer hope to the grieving mother, and also save himself?
